IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

 


The Middle Years Program (MYP) is a challenging inquiry-based framework for students ages 11 to 16 in grades 6 to 10. The MYP encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. 

The MYP provides a comprehensive education that fosters an individual’s intellectual, personal, and social development. Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) or IB Career-related Programme (IBCP).
